Tenyo +1\u00a0Campaign\u00a0Redemptions a.k.a. Specials<\/h4>\n

Starting in 1996, Tenyo began offering a free bonus trick for Japanese customers who sent in proof of purchases and postage. Tenyo calls the program the +1\u00a0Campaign and they have offered a redemption trick for every year since 1996. The tricks are made of paper\/cardboard and pack flat for easy shipping. The tricks are very well made and the designs are very good. Most of the tricks are based on known mathematical and magical principles but they are presented in an imaginative way that you would expect from Tenyo. Unfortunately the +1 bonus tricks were never offered to Tenyo’s customers outside of Japan. Since they were only available in Japan, they are hard to find outside of Japan. They are hardly ever\u00a0seen on ebay or in other magic auctions. When the trick is released each year, sellers like SEO Magic<\/a> and Magico-Japan<\/a> will have them for collectors and magicians outside of Japan with translated instructions. It is best to buy these when they first come out (usually in the first quarter of the year) as SEO and Magico-Japan get limited supplies and once they run out they usually can not get more. Sometimes the tricks are reprinted and available for sale again but only in Japan. In 2013 Tenyo reprinted Magic Sneakers and in 2014 they reprinted Magic Calendar which are two of the best +1 tricks. As I was working with these tricks so that I could make this webpage, I gained a greater appreciation and realized how nice and “special” these tricks are.\"\" <\/a><\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

The top five psychics are gathered to contest their abilities and to determine the \u0003Best Psychic in the World. During the contest, you demonstrate your own psychic abilities and identify the winner (without seeing the card) of the contest who was chosen by chance. Furthermore you show a prediction card that you selected before the contest even started that has the symbol of the winning psychic. This is mental magic with an interesting story.<\/p>\n

Comments<\/h3>\n

I had the Japanese instructions translated so I could perform the trick and I am glad that I did because it is a fun presentation. This trick does not get a lot of attention from English-speaking Tenyophiles because of the lack of English instructions and that it is hard to find.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/h3>\n

This trick was reprinted and available as a bonus packaged with Chinese Linking Rings that was sold in Japanese packaging. Even so it is not that easy to find.<\/p>\n
